Darius Garland & Jarrett Allen | Cavs at Nets Post Game | 2.8.2024

Uh just to bring the energy uh I wanted to set the tone in the second half and I think we fed off with that I mean it seemed like you person kind emotions uh we’re a team that feeds off of each other and uh there was a certain

Play in the game that we just got amped up off of and you know DJ responded everybody responded especially on the defensive end Darius said that that play definitely gave you guys life right how how does it feel to have your your teammates feed off with that energy from

You it feels great um honestly I always know that my teammates got my back first and foremost uh and I know that we feed off of each other in any single moment where honestly good or bad we all follow each other’s lead uh but it feels good

Knowing that my teammates are there you guys are clearly having a lot of fun right now which which is great we also like the Lees a lot of highs and lows right so how do you how do you embrace the fun that you’re having well at the

Same time you’re not yeah you said the leagues are full of highs and lows so you just got to ride the wave you know that’s what Cav’s motto basically is Ride The Wave so when the highs are high you got to enjoy the moment you got to

Have fun and when the lows are low you got to just stick with the grind and try to get back up same question for you on that one in the fun you guys are having right now you want to embrace it you should embrace it and you also don’t

Want to get yeah um I mean Jay hit the nail on the head um just got to ride the wave so uh if we winning we’re going to um just enjoy the win but we know that it’s another game coming up so just got to be prepared for all the other games

Coming Darius when you were watching from the sideline EV out obviously your out what sort of impressed you the most what stood out to you the most about the way the team was playing um the next man mentality next man up mentality uh everybody really stepped up and played a

Huge role in every win that we had um I mean coming from Sam to Craig to trishan coming in with a lot of hustle plays um everybody just contributed so that was one thing that really stood out to me when you came back and tried to get integrated obviously it’s like you know

Min fiction like different stuff going going on but like what was your mindset in terms of just trying to you know be yourself verus like fit into this like new way or like just the rhythm think that yeah um in these first couple games

I’m just trying to fit in um try to get everybody involved just trying to get back in the swing of things uh cuz my body is not the same right now just getting acclimated to everything all the minutes but uh hopefully after allar break out I get back to doing me and try

To get everybody else involved and just creating for others and creating for myself as well Um jar win live second night back to back so going back to how you talked about the for where did that where did that come from tonight uh we knew we were tired coming to this game the back to back um we had a tough game against

Washington a long drawn out game so we knew that just push through this game we have an off day tomorrow and just moments like these we honestly have to come together we know that energy is low but we still have to have that fight and

I think we brought it it’s not every day we all to see you do what happen why I was just I was just a moment you know it’s dayby day type of thing I’m just a guy that tries to say even ke but when buttons are pushed uh there’s

Retaliation cuz they’re kind of like a sensor b you guys you’re trying to show the lead but what caps her to right is there uh we’re not a team to be taken lightly you know we might not look like the toughest but when you start messing with the dogs

You’re going to you’re going to get bit Yeah a show that’s a go
